Chapter 168 Shadow Maggots
Although it is a scam, these difficulties alone are not enough to make punk give up. After all, the most suitable material for cultivating the resentful soul moth is found. Since there is no way to obtain ready-made experimental results, you can only experiment step by step by step.
After careful analysis and thinking, Punk found that there are about three kinds of magical insect larvae that he can obtain now.
The first is shadow maggot, the second is arcane swallower, and the third is abyss worm.
These three larvae can be used as raw materials for cultivating resentful soul moths. Most of their larvae's magic energy is around one standard unit.
But the abyss worms need to be cut from the experimental list, because if you want to catch the abyss worms, you must open the abyss portal. It is not a wise idea to do such a thing in Sunset City. Think about the noise in the town of Neilan, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.
Finally, punk plans to try it out from the best shadow maggots that are the least likely to make a big noise. What is the saying that goes - pick the persimmons and pinch them?
Shadow maggots are creatures that are born in the shadow plane. Although they are real magical creatures, they belong to the type at the bottom of the food chain. Their status in the shadow plane is equivalent to that of weeds on the ground. When adults are older, they are bigger bugs and have no so-called combat power at all.
To be honest, punk doesn't think that creatures like shadow maggots have any adaptability. After all, there is no such thing as climate in the shadow plane, so it's hard for you to expect creatures living in such a place that remains unchanged for thousands of years to gain adaptability through evolution.
But punk is not worried about adaptability. At most, when catalytic fusion, the experimental subject is placed within the influence of "Hetztat's nourishment fluctuations". Is the power of legendary magic not enough to make up for the gap in adaptability?
Since he had made up his mind, there was nothing to hesitate about, and Punk immediately began to catch shadow maggots.
For a formal mage, the shadow maggot is very easy to catch. It only requires gathering dark elements with higher density in the shadow plane. It can attract dozens of stupid shadow maggots in less than a day. Moreover, the shadow plane is not as aggressive as the abyss. Just opening a small mouth will not cause a large amount of shadow energy to leak, so punk can safely open up space cracks in the basement.
What, if you ask me what if the strong man in the Shadow Plane discovered, then do you need to ask? Run. If a shadow hunter really pops up after the crack opens, Punk will definitely run without saying a word and activate the "Arbitrary Door". Anyway, the sky collapses and there is a high one to hold it up. At that time, the "kind people" from Dylan's Kingdom will naturally help with the aftermath.
In fact, most creatures in the Shadow Plane are very disgusted with the main plane, and in most cases they are unwilling to enter the main plane, so you don’t have to worry too much if you close the cracks.
Extinguished the only magic light in the basement, and Punk stood next to a well-designed magic circle, accompanied by dots of black powder flying out of his palm, and a misty crack appeared in the center of the circle.
Soon, Punk completed the release of magic. He raised his staff and pointed at the black crack floating in the air. A large amount of magic power gushed out. These azure magic energy lit up one by one on the magic circle. Finally, after all the runes were lit, the crack in the center of the magic circle began to expand little by little, and soon reached the level of being able to accommodate a child to pass through.
"It's done, the shadow energy at this position is not active at all, and the opening of the crack should be the border area of the shadow plane."
Punk gently dissipated some shadow energy that had overflowed in the cracks and said in his heart.
Under the action of the room isolation array, this shadow energy will not transmit any abnormalities at all.
Seeing that the crack had stabilized, Punk silently took out a dark crystal ball from the storage ring. The Hunyuan crystal ball was filled with black clouds, and those were the dark elements gathered by Punk.
He put the crystal ball at the door of the crack and let the dark elements be drawn into the shadow plane.
"The next thing is to wait patiently."
Punk provided magic power to the magic circle motionlessly, and stared at the cracks of dark and unrelated light without expression. Although he didn't like to wait, the experiment was not tolerated. Such a waiting was destined to be repeated countless times.
The process of collecting shadow maggots continued from morning to afternoon the next day. The benefits of building a base in the slums were reflected at this time. The hungry people had no time to visit their neighbor who never went out. In the lives of the hungry people, even children had to go all out to find food on the garbage hills, and they had no leisure to curiosity and adventure, so Punk was not disturbed at all.
If he chose to live in the city as an ordinary person, he would not be as stable as he is now. Even if punk doesn't care about the hustle and bustle on the streets, a person who often doesn't go out for several years will be suspicious.
After a day and night of hard work, Punk harvested dozens of shadow maggots as he wished, of which about five juvenile bodies met the requirements, which was enough for early experiments.
Under the dim magic light, Punk could clearly see the shadow maggots blocked in the glass jar squirming violently and trying to find the exit, but the jars strengthened by magic are not something a group of shadow maggots can escape.
These little guys, who are close to the palm of their hands, are like a leech without a head, with dark and smooth skin on their bodies. Although they look quite large, their actual weight is not even a milligram, and they can even float in the air.
In fact, shadow maggots do not have heads. They are semi-energy creatures. The way they absorb energy is to swallow free matter and energy through the skin. It can be said that this thing is not much different from plants on the ground except moving.
"It's very good, it looks very energetic. I hope you can surprise me, right?"
Punk shook the transparent bottle with satisfaction, separated the five tangled shadow maggots, and then used a pair of alchemy tweezers to pick out one of the most lively shadow maggots.
The shadow maggot that was pinched out obviously didn't like being pinched by things, so it began to twist and struggle desperately, its long body completely coiled on the tweezers, and at the same time it released a mass of scary-looking shadow mist.
However, punk will not be scared by a little fog. The smoke released by the shadow maggots looks black and extremely poisonous, but these fogs are just a manifestation. People with some common sense will not be scared by it.
A breeze was created to scatter the smoke, and Punk walked step by step towards the experimental bench in the center of the hall with tweezers.
A young man with brown skin was lying on the experimental bench. At this time, the young man in a coma did not know that he had become the number one of the punk experiments.
